79. Let the Titanic make a sensation all over the world

One of the shareholders and bosses of the Titanic, Mr. Yin Simei is a man who puts interests first and is greedy for life and afraid of death.

His performance in the shipwreck can be described as very bad, at first he commanded indiscriminately, and the layman instructed the insiders to do things, and the crew who were evacuating the passengers were being evacuated to the west.

In the end, Yin Simei saw that the sinking was a fact, so she climbed into the lifeboat full of women and children under the noses of the first mate Murdoch, who only glanced at him with disdain, but did not say anything.

Compared with Yin Simei's cowardly performance, Andrews, the chief designer of the Titanic, is much more gentlemanly.

He chose to sink with the Titanic out of guilt and self-blame, and when he stood in front of the clock and turned the hands in the movie, Ruth and Jack met him, and the three exchanged briefly, and finally he gave Ruth his life jacket.

When everyone heard this, Captain Smith held his pipe and exhaled white smoke.

Yin Simei twisted her eyebrows and asked, "Why isn't it recommended?" If she can reach a speed of 23 knots, then she will surpass the speed of a warship and become the fastest ...... in the world."

Russell raised his eyes and looked at him and said, "Mr. Yin Simei, if you want her to be on the front page of the newspaper, of course I wouldn't suggest increasing the speed by 23 knots, because... I haven't had enough of the Atlantic Ocean. ”

When the words fell, everyone present was smiling at each other.

Yin Simei sighed with relief, "Mr. Walker, you are really humorous. ”

"His humor was learned from the Italians." Astor added.

"Haha..."

The celebrities and aristocrats all understood Italian humor and looked at each other and laughed.

Ruth looked at him with both eyes, and felt that he was very charismatic, unlike the gentlemen she had come into contact with, he was like an outlier standing in a pile of gentlemen, which made Ruth more and more curious.

Andrews asked, "Mr. Walker, do you have any good ideas?" ”

"If I just want the Titanic to make headlines, I do have a way."

Yin Simei leaned forward and asked anxiously, "What way?" ”

Russell smiled and said, "Let me sell it first, and it will naturally be revealed in two days." ”

"Oh! It's appetizing. Walker is not the time for humor......" Yin said.

Astor said, "yes, if I don't get a good rest tonight, I'll blame you all." ”

Captain Smith held his pipe in his hand and exhaled the smoke: "I'm afraid I'm going to be scared for the next few days." ”

"Mr. Captain, why are you so worried?" Ruth wondered.

Astor laughed and said, "With Walker's skills, of course I'm afraid that he will do something wrong on the ship!" ”

"Haha," the crowd laughed.

Russell smiled and said, "If I do something wrong, everyone here will not want to run away at that time." ”

"Haha..."

They took Russell's words entirely as humor.

Andrews said, "Mr. Walker, if you can make the Titanic in the headlines, then I'm willing to pay you for the advertising plan." ”

Yin Simei waved her hand and said: "Andrews, you are just her designer, and I am the boss, the advertising planning fee should be paid by me, Mr. Bao Walker is satisfied." ”

Russell will not refuse their kindness, "Mr. Yin Simei, about the price, wait for my plan to be implemented before negotiating?" ”

"Okay, no problem." Yin Simei nodded.

Everyone present is a celebrity and aristocrat, and he promised in front of everyone that he would definitely not repay the debt.

Yin Simei lifted her glass and said, "If I could see her running at the highest speed in the Atlantic, I would have no regrets about dying." ”

Andrews said, "Yes. ”

Captain Smith was clever enough not to answer, he was reluctant to speed up in the first place, which did not do him any good, but rather harmed.

"Mr. Yin Simei, I only saw 20 lifeboats on the boat, and according to my estimate, it is only enough to accommodate more than a thousand people, didn't you and Mr. Andrews consider safety?"

Russell asked this sentence very cleverly, first in his capacity as a security adviser, and secondly he gave detailed data.

Hearing this, the celebrities and nobles turned their heads to look at Yin Simei and Andrews, as if they wanted to hear what they had to say.

"When I first built her, I was given a design for 64 lifeboats......

"Yes, Andrews had suggested having 64 lifeboats on board, but it was so crowded that my passengers didn't have a place to walk at all, and the lifeboats took up too much space."

Yin Simei continued: "I want to give the passengers the best conditions and let them enjoy the comfort of the journey, so I built the facilities in the ship to be extremely luxurious......"

"Yes, all the facilities and flowers on board are from the whimsy of Mr. Yin Simei." Andrews said.

The celebrities and aristocrats nodded slowly, they spent a lot of money on a boat just to have a comfortable journey, so that they would not go out to have fun and carry their tired bodies home.

Before Russell could speak, Ruth, who was directly opposite him, spoke: "Mr. Yin Simei, didn't you take into account the passengers in the third class? How can they escape in the event of a disaster? ”

Yin Simei smiled: "Of course there is consideration, I don't have any discrimination against the poor. The 20 lifeboats and booms were equipped solely to cope with the 1894 Merchant Marine Act. ”

"Please don't be surprised, because the Titanic is the safest ship in the world, Mr. Andrews designed 16 sealed cabins at the bottom of the ship, and if the sealed cabin is hit and leaked, then the sealed cabin will automatically close."

"Even if all the sealed cabins leak, the Titanic will not sink, she will only have a deeper draft and a slower speed."

Yin Simei said confidently: "In other words, no matter what problems you encounter, the Titanic will never sink!" ”

Andrews laughs and says, "Yes, she's never sinkable, that's why I designed her in the first place." ”

"Wish I could sail this unsinkable ship to death!" Captain Smith said.

"Yes, Captain. Oh, it's not a curse......"

"See what you mean, Andrews."

Astor raised his glass and smiled, "In that case, what else is there to worry about. Let's raise a glass on this unsinkable ship! ”

"Chelse~"

Russell didn't say anything, he knew their conversation by heart, and if he had gone back in time, maybe Yin Simei and Andrews would still be so confident.

After all, who would curse a newborn baby?

At the end of lunch, Astor's little wife, Madeleine and Ida Strauss, left arm-in-arm and went back to their room to rest.

Fisher kept giving his daughter Ruth a look and telling her to follow him away.

However, Ruth sat firmly in her chair as if she had not seen it, and her eyes were shining and she looked directly at Russell, and the look of curiosity and adoration could not be concealed.

Fisher was so angry that he didn't even say hello, but got up and threw his sleeves away.

"Oh, who Madame Fisher?" Yin Xiduo asked.

"Nobody messed with her."

Astor had a bad face and said, "Her behavior is simply a shame on the nobles. ”

Russell got up and pulled out his cigarette and asked, "Does anyone want to smoke a cheap cigarette?" ”

A smile appeared on Astor's face, "Hurry up and give me one, I can't wait." ”

"Haha, so you're waiting for this." Yin Xiduo said with a smile.

Yin Simei said: "Cheap cigarettes? I never seem to have tasted it, Mr. Walker, can you give me one? ”

He completely wanted to be close to Russellau, because he boasted about Haikou in front of celebrities and aristocrats, saying that he could make the Titanic make headlines!

Since Captain Smith was too stubborn, Yin Simei pinned her hopes on Russell.

"Of course."

Russell's cigarettes were sold everywhere on the ship, and they were certainly affordable for the nobles.

However, Astor and Yin Sido do do not like the taste of cheap cigarettes, but like the joy and atmosphere of tasting with everyone.

Russell gave the cigarettes to the men present, and looked at the only lady left with some hesitation.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Do you smoke?" ”

Ruth raised her head and saw him handing her a cigarette, and was about to raise her hand but slammed it, her expression was slightly flustered, and she was stunned for about two seconds before she hurriedly waved her hand and shook her head.

"No, I won't ......"

Russell smiled and nodded, and put the cigarette to his mouth.

Astor and Yin Simei and the others looked at each other and laughed at each other, and they saw Ruth tinkering with cigarettes in the smoking room more than once.

But no one said it explicitly, after all, who would guess the girl's thoughts.

Ruth knew what they were laughing at, so she blushed and nodded her head in thanks.

Russell ignored her and didn't even look at her face. It's not that I'm embarrassed to see the girl blushing, but it's a communication skill.

He knew Ruth's inner thoughts and knew what she wanted, so the more Russell didn't talk to her, the more her curiosity would be piqued.

The curiosity of a young girl is sometimes the road to heaven to happiness, and sometimes the road to Huangquan to hell.

After the celebrity aristocrats came into contact with Russell, they didn't think that he was a poor man at the bottom, but more like a knowledgeable down-and-out aristocrat, otherwise how could he understand so many things?

After Astor and the others enjoyed the atmosphere of many people smoking, they said goodbye to Russell.

Before leaving, Yin Simei reminded: "Mr. Walker, since the Titanic cannot conquer the world with speed, then please give me an idea that can be on the front page of the newspaper, and if it happens, I will be very grateful." ”

Russell nodded, "Mr. Yin Simei, please rest assured. I have a plan that is big enough to make the Titanic a global sensation! ”

"Bother, we'll see you in the evening?"

"See you in the evening."

After Yin Simei leaves.

At the table, only Captain Smith and Ruth were left with pipes in their mouths.

The captain stood up and stretched out his hand, "Mr. Walker, Mrs. Brown has promoted you to First Class E-...... I'll send the room cleaned up later. ”

"Okay, thanks Captain Smith."

Russell shook his hand.

"You're welcome, it's really nice to meet you, not only to remind me to make up for my mistakes, but also to meet a wonderful young man."

"I wonder if I can ask something? You can also not answer. ”

"Mr. Smith, but it doesn't hurt to say that."

"I want to know what you really think about not recommending speed-up."
